Veteran actor Chiranjeevi marked his 69th birthday by offering prayers at Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala. Accompanied by his wife, he greeted well-wishers and reflected on his illustrious career. Chiranjeevi was honored with the Padma Vibhushan earlier this year.

Superstar Chiranjeevi celebrated his 69th birthday on Thursday by offering prayers at the revered Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirumala. Accompanied by his wife, Surekha Konidela, the veteran actor visited the sacred site to seek blessings from Lord Balaji.

Dressed in a traditional off-white silk mundu and kurta, complemented by a kasavu-bordered shawl, Chiranjeevi, renowned for his stellar career in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, and Kannada cinema, warmly greeted fellow devotees as he made his way through the temple.

Ahead of the celebrations, Chiranjeevi and his family arrived in Tirumala the previous day. Spotted in casual attire of a t-shirt and jeans, he received a heartfelt welcome at the local hotel.

His mother and wife accompanied him throughout this spiritual journey. Chiranjeevi's illustrious career includes iconic films like 'Vijetha,' 'Indra,' 'Shankar Dada M.B.B.S.,' and the recent 'Bholaa Shankar.'

Since debuting in 1978 with 'Punadhirallu,' Chiranjeevi has been a prominent figure in Indian cinema. In May 2024, he was honored with the Padma Vibhushan, India's second-highest civilian award.

The prestigious recognition was conferred by President Droupadi Murmu, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, at a ceremony held at Rashtrapati Bhavan. (ANI)
